A Significant roll is checked against the character's attribute rather than skill value, making it more difficult to fail. It's also, of course, the GM's job to call for a roll, not the player's. | |

In particular, my group ran into a problem where I adapted UA's car chase rules for a footrace, and one of the players failed ten times in a single scene. I contacted the author (Erin Palette) with a suggestion to limit the gain to 1/skill/scene, and she seemed receptive to it; I don't know if or when she'll produce a new version of the rules, but that theoretical future version will most likely include the limit I set in my game, or something similar. (The parent game, UA, has a rate limit for spending XP, after all.) | |
